City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

Maybe they're going to vote with us to have soft loans interest bearing but only from the vote date....get it in under the wire and all that?

Well they gave evidence in our favour so makes sense

But any potential regulator would need experience of football at the highest level and is therefore likely to have skin in the game.

That’s a bit like saying a magistrate cannot try a motoring case if he’s a driver or a ref can’t be neutral if he played the game.
You have to draw the line somewhere on what constitutes bias. The courts or arbitration is the backstop.
You can bet your life that City will lobby the new regulator when the time comes.

What are Chelsea up to? In some ways you have to admire Chelsea…they do stuff that we can’t understand and yet somehow it seems to work.

It's ok. They'll be able to claim back £40m for the arrangement fees.

On the 250 year rental income, previous years have been less, and have been negotiated up, if that rental figure remained the same over the remainder of the 250 year rental income, that would be over £1bill the council gets off City. Maybe there will come a point in the future when the club decides it’s want to by the stadium for substantially less than £1bill it will have to pay out in rent to the council?

Yep. When all the planning permissions and permits we need to build and expand have been approved.

No fan of Panja but that's a bit of a cheap shot bearing in mind @slbsn himself was saying the judgment was a score draw or a slight City win until recently.

Have to own up when you get something wrong. I do it all the time :)

My view hasn't changed at all. It is best illustrated by my view on costs - as I explained yesterday, I don't believe the PL will pay more than 10-20% of City's costs and it is most likely that the parties agree to pay their own costs.

You've missed the point on Panja. Panja promoted Leaf's original view as well considered when it was an immediate reaction. When I pointed that out, Panja tried to make out I was discrediting Leaf's position which I was not. I was merely pointing out it was limited because he couldn't have read it. Now Leaf has seemingly considered things and appears to say things are consequential, Panja should promote that view as equally as the provisional view.

I don't agree with either of Leaf's view myself. I believe the shareholder loan stuff is largely irrelevant, that APT is not null and void, that even if it is the teams will pass a replacement in line with the original APT (now found to be lawful) and that the key finding is that you can put the all the 2024 changes in the bin as unlawful (as City warned the PL and clubs in October 2021).

"We must stop team's spending what they like to get an unbeatable team and create an uncompetitive league"

In the context, it's obviously aimed at City and curbing our spending power

In the meantime utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and chelsea spend more than us but don't challenge for anything.
These teams waste more time and energy trying to drag our name through shit and accusing us of wrongdoings, maybe if they put the same energy onto the pitch they might surprise themselves and others.

It's a lot better doing it with butter believe me, creamier taste.
